Ag Literacy Week

Last week concluded our celebration of Ag Literacy. Our Ag in the Classroom team and guest readers reached approximately 1,600 students over the past three weeks. Classes read 'Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table' and learned about composting and urban farming.

Huge thanks to our guest readers: Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, State Senator Fred Akshar, County Executive Jason Garnar, City of Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham, Town of Dickinson Supervisor Michael Marinaccio, and CCE Broome Board Member Kellyanne Truesdale, as well as our Ag in the Classroom team for organizing the lessons.
